• CD player does not read the CD

  Original title: Windows Installer 4.5 on a computer laptop gateway running windows7

  I tried several things with windows install 4.5. I even tried sfc/scannow, and who came back under the name of no violation. The only thing I have not tried is the clean utility windows, that will help? Who's going to make me lose all my photos and music and information stored in the school's computer? The reason why I am trying to solve this problem is because the Player reads any of my software cd HP, Polaroid and Microsoft2010?  someone please advise

  Hi fredibar,

  1 are. What utilities you referring?
  2. what exactly is the problem with Windows install?

  As the CD/DVD drive does not read the CD, we need troubleshoot CD player. We do not think that Windows Installer is related to the CD player.

  To fix the CD/DVD read the issue, try the following steps:
  a. see your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media
  b. click Run Now button and run the tool successfully.
  c. restart the computer and check if the CD is read by the CD/DVD drive.

  System:, I have XP w/SP3 installed. Dual-Core 3.0 G w / 3G P5N72T - MB Ram, HD 300 G, Asus CD/DVD Drive.

  • My CD player will not read or display the contents of the disc when I use the file Explorer.
  • My letter of CD drive is D:\ and always appear as one of the discs.
  • When I use the command "run" and type: D:\install or D:\setup a windows "disk is not formatted" error appears stating "Windows is unable to read the disc. The disk might be corrupted or it could be in a form that is not compatible with windows.
  • My Green CD player will sweep on and I can hear it turn every time I try to explore the files or after I insert a disc, but she never autoruns, or displays content.

  • If I could read a disc that I could try to reinstall windows XP, but it is not an option now until my CD player is fixed!
  • I don't have any installed like Nero buring CD software.

  • I tried to rename the drive, disconnect the drive.
  • I'm sure I tried other things, but can't remember right now!

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  Hi msavage2000,

  It seems you have tried most of the steps to solve this problem. However, we would like to know if the drive does recognize the drive?

  As we know readers work, I would like you to try a new PATA/IDE cable and check the result.

• Droid X 2: doubleTwist player does not read the SD card

  (And NO, I'm not talking Desktop App... the app works great and sync to sdcard_ext very well.)

  Someone else had this problem? He is the only player who does not see the SD card. I'm trying to convince developers to doubleTwist, that's THEIR problem. They have so many users pass through hoops to describe their problem and give them details without actually solving the problem. It is approximately 7 months since the first issue has been reported to them. And of course, most of the users are deserting a ship and ask for refunds.

  Any thoughts?

  There is something about the fact, however - after using about a dozen media players, that's really one of the only media players I found the sdcard_ext problem. I went to PowerAMP and I love it.

• QuickTime Player does not read the sub file.

  I tried to watch a movie with subtitles using a randomly video player, but I'm having some problems now. So I tried to use QuickTime Player to my surprise, there was no possible way to do it, but to burn the subs in the movie file. How is it that such expensive equipment does not have a video player that can actually read subs?

  Please, take a look at this, I think that we should not have to download another video player to do this.

• CD/DVR Player does not read the executable files on some CDs.

  It reads files on the CD, but not an executable file. I have two computers identicle, so I can check the CD on the other to see if it works. Some CD will start auto and others do not - and when I try to search the CD thanks to explore, there are only available data files & text. Example: new Canon printer installation software not start.with game automatic or manual, since there is no file to run. The same CD works on my other machine. I replaced the CD/DVR Player with a new and got the same results. Reinstall the driver didn't work, makes me think that something in Windows is enabled or disabled causing this problem, but I don't know what it could be. I have autoplay on, and it used to work fine until recently. Help! A final clue: he's going to play the CD in Safe Mode?

  Hello

  Check your antivirus/security program. The just maybe not clear enough as is
  always load chunks of itself into memory. So uninstall it and run its creator for removal tool
  avoid problems causing scraps left. Here are the recommendations to
  use during the test and even permanently.

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/msestart/thread/407bf6da-C05D-4546-8788-0aa4c25a1f91/

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  ==========================================================

  Other methods would be to use the clean boot method to see if you can determine whether something
  interfere with the operation of the drive.

• Equium A60 - DVD player does not read the data disks

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my DVD drive on my laptop Toshiba Equium A60. The DVD drive (Pioneer DVD - RW DVR-K13A) will play store bought movies etc. without problem. He will also read a blank DVD when you put it in the drive, but once the information/data are on the disc, it won t detect the drive.

  I'm not really good with computer so any help would be grateful. The computer used for any play he stopped just do a few months back.

  Many thanks, Phil

  Hello Phil

  It is not easy to find explanations for these issues. What you can try is to create own data CD and check if the drive can read. I recommend buying a blank DVD-R from TDK. Over the past 7 years I never had no problem read/write TDK media.

  Media that cannot be read properly? Is - this DVD-R, DVD - RW, DVD + R or a DVD + RW?
  Please give us more information.

• Media Player does not read the dvd.

  When you try to play a dvd, says Media Player cannot find the dvd directory

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:

  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• No sound in 3g 2 files, error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)

  I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.

  I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.

  I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player does not support the format you are trying to play. »

  Can someone explain what is happening, why it happens and how / if I can convert them into a playable (with audio) .wmv friendly format?

  You found this message from Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.
   
  a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.
  b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.
   
  Step 1:
